Starring in the rock garden in early December is the amazing Allium virgunculae ‘Alba’. This delightful dwarf allium to 8″ tall is similar to the better known and slower offsetting Japanese Allium thunbergii. Allium virgunculae, which typically has lavender flowers, hails from Japan’s far south Kyushu Island.
Hellebores are wonderful. So good, So good, though, to see other beautiful flowers in December…outside! [Yes, my helleborus niger is blooming!]
